but you should know if its PS fluid or oil, they dont even look the same.
telling you man, put one of those blue shop towels over the feed line, at least you will be able to tell where its coming from

Doesn't ---- like that piss you off. Clean everything up real good man, and then watch the engine while it is idling. With the mess you have there, I'd be willing to bet you'd be able to see whereabouts it is coming from. A friend of mine had this probaly recently with his DSM and I BELIEVE the culprit was his cam seals. That ---- was slingin' oil like a bitch. Might not be your issue but it's worth a look-see.

yeah for sure makes me mad man, thought it was for sure it was valve cover gasket, took it around the block and the smae ---- :7

sadly its at the shop right now instead of on my friends lift or parked in front of my house where i've been working on it latley. The guys at the shop are pretty legit and they let me go underneath it and look around and let me hang out down there while they work. Kinda sucks that i'm not doing it to myself, but this is like the first time since i've got it installed i haven't done it myself, so i'm not worried about it. It's my DD and i just need it running asap! Anyway i'll have them chekc cam seal, have them rev it a little and see what happens, check the oil feed, power steering pump (my fluid looks normal BTW, idk), and the turbo inlet as well. You guys have been super helpful, i'll let you know whats up. Thanks for sure!

thought i'd let you guys know that it was.......the oil feed line! You guys who suggested that was right. Needed some more loctite and teflon tape. It's solid now, thanks for your help!

hats the feed for the water, but the water drain is welded shut (its a used turbo), so idk how i could use the feed anyway, and i asked around and a few people said as long as its oil cooled it should be good. Idk, the leak is totally fixed though.
